If US citizens want guns ...

“You don’t need no gun control, you know what you need? We need some bullet control. Man, we need to control the bullets, that’s right. I think all bullets should cost five thousand dollars… five thousand dollars per bullet… You know why? Cause if a bullet cost five thousand dollars there would be no more innocent bystanders. Yeah! Every time somebody get shot we’d say, ‘Damn, he must have done something ... Shit, he’s got fifty thousand dollars worth of bullets in his ass.’ And people would think before they killed somebody if a bullet cost five thousand dollars. ‘Man I would blow your fucking head off…if I could afford it.’ ‘I’m gonna get me another job, I’m going to start saving some money, and you’re a dead man. You’d better hope I can’t get no bullets on layaway.’ So even if you get shot by a stray bullet, you wouldn't have to go to no doctor to get it taken out. Whoever shot you would take their bullet back, like "I believe you got my property.”

So it is. So what? It's also easy to trivialise and joke about things you do understand. It's a pretty boring and tbh quite pathetic response to an attitude you don't like to just say "You don't understand". You think (you've said) that as I'm not American I can't understand American culture and the gun argument - so how do you explain all those born and bred Americans who also don't like it? It's quite possible for people who disagree with you to have just as good an understanding of the issues as you do, you know.
I was out in Coloma on route 49 having a coffee and chatting to the girl who worked there. She was about 20, and lived not far, but further up in the hills with her mum. They had a couple of bears that were killing their chickens and generally being a pain so they shot them, butchered them and put them in the freezer. How do you defend yourself with elastic bands? The US isnt like much of Europe, so really you don't know what you are talking about.

The US isn't like ANY of Europe.

What's the point in shooting a dead chicken?

You're right. Europe is much better.

Better for Europeans, maybe. Or people that wish they were European.

I know. It was a joke. It's something Europeans do.

They shot the bears John.
I know, but the way your sentence was constructed, it could have been the chickens, so I jumped at the opportunity to be a smart-ass. :)

And you haven'the seen Chicago, which has simultaneously extremely restrictive gun laws and regular gang shootouts.
Ad astra - both ways!
